Injured BSB rider’s worry: “Since surgery, the bones haven’t healed at all”
“What started out suꦆch a good 💟year with good results has quickly turned into a disaster"

Fraser Rogers has offered an update on the i♛njurie𓆉s which have ruined his season.
The TAG Racing rider did not compete in the🌱 last British Superbike Championship round of the year at Brands Hat🍎ch.
Rogers had previouslyܫ spent much of the second half of the BSB season riding while hurt.
A social media post ahead of the Brands Hatch finale revealed the brutal extent🐻 of Rogers’ comeback from injury.
“It's time to accept the significance of my injurie🐟s and ca꧑ll an end to my 2024 season,” he wrote.
“As hard as I have tried - I am struggling, day to day and also on the bike. I struggle to change gear, let alone move on the 𝓰bike and change direction.
“This shows in my recent poor performance. I'm riding round off the pace, in pain and in positions that just꧙ aren't where myself or the team 🧸should be.
“What stღarted out such a good year with good results has quickly turned into a disaster.
“Recent CT scans anꦇd doctor’s advice is to cease all🦩 training and riding until my legs have healed as any further activity will worsen the situation and push my recovery back.
“Since surgery the bones haven’t healed at all, and due to overworking the injury I have an excess of callus on the outside of my leg which has slightly moved the bone and I’m ba❀sically back at square 1.
“So tim𓂃e now for me to take the proper time off and let myself heal correctly and then get myself fit for 2025.
“I can only apologise to everyone and again to my team fo🍸r this. BUT we go again next year and I will be back strong.”

A day later, he finished 17th in Race 1 at🦂 Oultonꦑ Park. Rogers then competed at Donington Park later in September, too.
A post earlier this season from TAGও Racing underlined the problems that Rogers was dealing with.
“Fraser’s body positioning on the bike requires some adapting, particularly through his injuriesꦺ,” they w🌸rote.
With the BSB season now concluded, Rogers has already signed a deཧal to stay with TAG Racing in 2025.
His off-season will now prioritise recovery.
